Portable book of business of $1M+ (USD)
Substantial experience in commercial litigation, including trial and appellate matters
Demonstrated business development and client-management skills
Bar admission in California (or eligible) and ability to be based in Palo Alto

Where the match is not obvious from the description, it is usually still worth talking — the specification tends to follow the practice.
